Twelve different Western Conference NHL teams have taken a shot at beating the Chicago Blackhawks in regulation in 16 tries so far this season. None have succeeded. Oh sure, Minnesota, Vancouver, and Anaheim beat the Hawks in overtime, but in today’s NHL an overtime loss isn’t the same as a regulation loss. So Chicago’s record […]

The NHL had kind of a strange first week. After a protracted labor dispute, followed by six-day training camps, the league kicked of the 2012-13 2013 season last Saturday with some teams and players looking pretty rusty and others looking in midseason form. Thus, in the last week we’ve seen some pretty sloppy, slow-footed play, […]

Heading into last night’s trio of playoff games, NHL head disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan had handed out a total of eight suspensions (it probably should have been nine), and he will likely be handing out yet another following this brutal hit to the head by the Coyotes’ Raffi Torres on the Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa. Hossa has […]

Trailing 1-0 midway through the second period, the Chicago Blackhawks were in need of a goal. While they likely would have settled for a garbage goal that banked off a few players and took a favorable bounce into the back of the Anaheim Ducks’ net, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa provided us with something that […]

Hossa is denied! Brian Elliott of the Ottawa Senators came up with an incredible, diving save against the Blackhawks and Marian Hossa. If this isn’t the save of the year (then this save from this Norwegian Goaltender is), it’s definitely a contender. Elliott not only made the amazing save, but it was early enough in […]

A tonne of movement for week 9 in the NHL Power Rankings with all but four teams moving spots. However, despite all the movement, the top 3 of San Jose, Pittsburgh and Washington stayed the same with New Jersey jumping into the top 5. The biggest loser in our NHL Power Rankings this week were […]

Total Pro Sports- The Chicago Blackhawks made a bold move in free agency this past offseason by signing Marian Hossa to a 12-year, $62.8 million deal. They had to wait over 20 games to see their prized acquisition in action, but it was well worth it. Hossa finally made his season debut on Wednesday night […]

Total Pro Sports – With the 12:00pm EST July 1st deadline just hours away it’s time to take a look at some of the big fishes that will be available in this year’s UFA pond. With the salary cap speculated to decrease for the 2010-11 season it’ll be interesting to see what kind of contracts […]

Total Pro Sports – Last summer Marian Hossa left the Pittsburgh Penguins to join the Detroit Red Wings in hopes of winning his first Stanley Cup. Last night his plan backfired as he was forced to watch his former team celebrate after a 2-1 game seven victory. TPS was in attendance to catch the game […]

Total Pro Sports – It is the most appropriate way to end what has been an entertaining Stanley Cup Finals between the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Faced with a do or die situation at home last night, the Penguins came out hard and took it to the defending cup champions, rewriting last […]

Total Pro Sports – After two games, they have outshot the Detroit Red Wings, a feat that is not easily accomplished by most NHL teams, but they have still yet to beat them in this year’s edition of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. Blame it on the schedule, the refs, or the goalies. Whatever the […]

Total Pro Sports – It all began on Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Now, three rounds, fourteen series, 43 days, 70 games, and a whole lot of bruises later we are left with the final two teams in the NHL playoffs, one of the most demanding post-seasons in professional sports. In the 2009 edition of the […]

Total Pro Sports – No Lidstrom. No Datsyuk. No Draper. No problem. That was the case for the Detroit Red Wings in game number 4 as they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks easily by a score of 6-1. With the win the Wings now hold a 3-1 series edge and have all but solidified their place […]

Total Pro Sports – There may not be a more frustrating moment in hockey than working hard all game to score on the opposing goalie, and when you finally do the ref decides to make the biggest mistake of his career and blow the whistle. That was the story of the Detroit Red Wings as […]

Total Pro Sports – For the second week in a row we have a certain Washington Capitals defenceman leading the way showing everyone that Alexander Ovechkin isn’t the only one who can score on the Caps. This week’s honorable mention goes to Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres. Last week Miller put up 2 wins […]
